Story Maps at the 2017 Esri Partner Conference and DevSummit
While we’re putting the finishing touches on a software release this week, the Story Maps Team is also preparing to see many of you in Palm Springs next week at the 2017 Esri Partner Conference and Developer Summit. We have several sessions planned for you, which you can read about below. We’ll also have a kiosk in the EXPO hall and will be at the Meet the Teams social, so please stop by to chat with us about what you’re doing with Story Maps!
Also, be sure to check out all the great things to do while you’re in Palm Springs in these story maps by our very own Rupert Essinger:
Leveraging Story Maps for your Business
Story Maps let you combine authoritative maps with narrative text, images, and multimedia content. They make it easy to harness the power of maps and geography to tell a story. Whether you are authoring stories for your customers, or looking to showcase your capabilities and projects, Story Maps are an effective way to communicate, and a powerful capability of the ArcGIS platform. This session will provide an overview of Story Maps, highlight resources and techniques essential for your success, and show current examples and how to author them.
